Visualizing observed deaths using polar coordinates

Is this just number of deaths without population context? If so, it's falsely accumulating. Probably not a huge deal given the period and growth rate, but still, not hard to adjust.

USA population growth is about 0.6%/year. Adjust total population on a per month basis and show the deaths per population instead of the total deaths.

Would love to see a bunch of age-stratified versions.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm has the age-stratified data for the US you are looking for. I think they adjust for population growth, but I am not sure.

https://euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/ has similar data for most of Europe and Israel, and they adjust for population growth and a seasonal component (looks like a sine wave of period 1 year).
